The geopolitical breakdown between Ukraine and Russia is likely to have a direct bearing on the travel and hospitality sectors of Kerala.
The airlines were hoping to resume normal services soon after the third wave of the pandemic. However, experts feel that if the situation remains unchanged, the rebound of the travel industry will be delayed further due to possible serious economic repercussions in West Asia as a result of the war-like scenario.
A senior Air India official said the passenger load of airlines has been steadily improving after the second wave of COVID-19, except for a few weeks during the peak of the third wave. In fact, it is expected to see a surge in the coming months. But if the shifty political situation in Ukraine persists, the resurgence of the travel industry and hospitality sectors will be delayed, he added.
